Hi Andrew,
The manual for Acer Veriton 5600 series is available at the Product User/EndUser Website (Downloads) at http://csd.acer.com.tw. The filename of the manual is VT5600series_EN_0403.pdf
Re add-on video card - select video card to be used in your CMOS/BIOS. Press "Del" during the bootup process. Alternately, you casn run the built-in diagnostic to diagnose any system changtes such as an add-on video card.
Re onboard soundport - try either the front or the rear line/speaker out. Verify that the drivers are properly installed in your Device Manager. By default, when you have an external speaker, the internal auto cuts-off.
Hope this be of some help/idea. Post back how things turned out or should you need further information.
Good luck and kind regards.

ok go to control panel, then power options and check that the option states that when you press the shutdown button, it powers down.
You also may need to check inthe bios (F2 or Del on boot up) and go to standard cmos settings or the advanced cmos settings and see if ACPI is enabled, if not enable, then save settings and exit and a reboot will follow.
